Utile promemoria: quando si ama troppo
“When in most of our conversations with close friends we talk about him, his problems, what he thinks, his feelings, we are loving too much.
When we justify his bad moods, his bad temper, his indifference or consider them the consequences of an unhappy childhood and try to become his therapist, we are loving too much.
When we read a popular essay on psychoanalysis and underline
all passesadd that could help him, we are loving too much.
When we don't like his character, his way of thinking and his behavior, but we adapt to it thinking that if we are attractive and affectionate enough he will want to change for our sake, we are loving too much.
When our relationship with him jeopardizes our emotional well-being and perhaps even our health and safety, we are definitely loving too much.
